- Description: Fukushima was a Japanese army officer who, after the Russo-Japanese war in 1904, chose a remarkable way to return to Japan: riding from Berlin to Vladivostok. This epic crossing of two continents on horseback took one year and four months. One of the journey's objectives was to inspect the construction of the still-under-construction Trans-Siberian Railway and to gather information on local infrastructure, command, and control along the way. During this journey, on March 1, 1893, before entering Manchuria, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. His 14'000-kilometer ride made him a national hero in Japan and earned him the Order of the Sacred Treasures, third class. Upon his return to Japan from his ride across Asia, Fukushima donated his horses to Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, where they quickly became famous tourist attractions
